Preparation

Step 1

1.Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat.
2.Tear chipped beef into small pieces and add it to the butter.
3.Cook beef for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to curl. The meat will release some of its salt as it cooks.
4.Gradually add flour to the pan, stirring until a thick paste forms.
5.Pour in half-and-half and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue stirring until thick and creamy.
6.Cook for at least 20 minutes,
stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is reached.
7.Toast 4-6 pieces of bread and set aside.
8.Once desired thickness is reached, bring sauce back up to a boil and whisk vigorously for 1 minute.
9.Taste and season with pepper (salt is probably unnecessary) and place a combination of beef and sauce over toast.
10.Serve immediately and enjoy.
